The last observed time change in Mexico will be on October 30, since the law still in force. States that observe the time change will move their clocks back one hour with the start of winter. October 30 will be the last time change in those states.
The initiative was sent by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador in July to the Chamber of Deputies.
